Nature is pityless -- woman sucked out of plane.

The 737 was first certified back in the 1960's. Decades before fly by wire systems were even thought of for transport category aircraft. The 737-700 series was certified in the mid-90's and incorporated many design changes compared to the original 737 systems. But I don't believe fly by wire was not one of them. Old fashion mechanical hydraulic same as it ever was.
